  $999,999,999 no individual wealth

  I don’t think you have a strong enough concept of large numbers to be able to hold a respectable opinion here.

    You didn’t answer the question though.

    Who owns a factory or a datacenter? These are fantastically expensive things. A chip foundry cannot exist under these conditions.

      It could be owned by, like, multiple people? Also, a lot of companies in the world, and especially the ones managing costly infrastructure assets, are owned by states (which are a form of “multiple people”).

  Workers own the factory. Collectively. Through democratic process of any variety.

    In those situations what do the workers that have no interest in owning the means of production do? Like, if you just want to do your job and go home, is there still room for you under that system? Or does it require active participation from every worker?

      Do you think Capitalist owners can’t just do their job and go home? Do you even think Capitalist Owners work?

      If Workers share ownership, they can hold electoral councils, elect a manager, or do any other form of decision making without requiring constant input.

      Do you actively participate in every company you own in your S&P 500 ETF?

        Ooooooookaaaaayyyyy. You are more interested in feeling attacked and defending your ego than discussing praxis. I’m not interested in that.

        Also lmao thinking I own stock.

      They get a part of the company’s gains regardless because they are workers.
